Hi, I wonder if someone has another idea to help me install the expansion packs from LN onwards? All my installs are from Origin downloads.
Just to review my system:
Model Identifier: iMac MacOS Mojave 10.14.2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Memory 8 GB
Radeon Pro 555
Vendor: AMD (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x67ef
I have edited the graphics card script successfully, although the game did run with an unrecognised card.
Following Bluebellflora's and the EA guides to installing, I have been able to install
Base game
WA
HELS
AMB - I used the workaround by Bluebelleflora with pasting alias into the SIMS 3 folder and it worked, game launched and played.
Then I installed LN, as expected got the "unexpected error". tried Bluebelle again, still got the error, so did as advised and tried the Corey strategy of pasting the folder from transgaming into the latest download (WA). Still got the error. I figured I might be able to salvage later EP's so have gone ahead and installed
GEN
IP
but obviously I haven't been able to test anything.
I've removed the transgame package from WA and tried it in (respectively) IP, GEN, base game, but still the error; so have deleted LN manually as per instructions, being sure to check all the library cache / cookie / preferences etc as well as all the transgaming folders for the installed packs.
I'm still getting the unknown error. I have already deleted and reinstalled the whole damed thing twice; yesterday I stuffed up and forgot what I was up to when I had AMB and had downloaded LN, so had to delete back to WA, managed to keep it all working, and then reinstalled HELS & AMB. I was SO careful the second time, so can't think of what to do to correct it.
I'd be really glad if someone had some alternative to deleting and redownloading and reinstalling yet again. Thanks.
